Welcome
I’m a private chef living with celiac disease and dairy intolerance. I work intermittently as Director of Culinary Services at a luxury rehabilitation centre. The rest of my working life is spent creating exquisite culinary experiences for occasions great and small. My culinary philosophy centers on nourishment, exploration and bold flavours. I find inspiration in culinary traditions from around the world as much as in the garden and the farmer’s market. I also offer consultations and private cooking classes.

Boutique Events & Private Parties
bring the chef home
For the ultimate culinary experience, hire me to cater your next social gathering or special occasion. I will design a menu specific to your dreams and to the dietary needs of the dining party. On the day of the event, I will arrive with all the ingredients and prepare everything in your kitchen. Serving and cleaning are included too, so you can sit back and enjoy the evening with your guests.

Kitchen Consulting
for specific dietary needs
Having struggled with celiac disease and dairy intolerance for many years, I understand the frustration, sense of deprivation and sometimes even shame that can accompany life with an ‘abnormal’ diet. Food is such a central part of our lives and relationships that an allergy or intolerance can feel like a handicap in a dining universe that isn’t built for us, notwithstanding the personal sense of loss when favourite foods become forbidden foods. With years of experience cooking for my own intolerances, as well as those of my many clients, I have become an expert in making food that is both tasty and nutritious, regardless of dietary restrictions.
I can help you:
- Create delicious, healthy meal plans that fit your diet and lifestyle
- Develop a repertoire of cooking tricks to boost the flavours and textures of your meal
- Navigate the grocery store like a chef
- Find great, high-quality products that fit your dietary needs
- Make clever ingredient substitutions so you can enjoy all of your favourite dishes again
- Connect to other excellent resources, such as cookbooks, blogs and online food suppliers that will help you along your journey to deliciousness.

Private Cooking Classes
your kitchen, your needs
If you would like to take things to the next level with a hands-on learning experience, I offer a variety of cooking and baking classes. Each class is customized to your dietary needs and cooking experience. Once we have determined a class plan that suits your needs and preferences and equipped your pantry for the task, I will come to your home and show you how to make the most of your kitchen and ingredients. Let’s have fun creating possibilities for your dinner table!
